I agree that all the patients sound white, although I've never bothered to find out for sure. Certainly I don't remember any references to race, so I suppose it's not a therapy issue for any of the current patients. I've thought about writing an African-American or Native American character, but I don't feel like I have an adequate frame of reference. I could arbitrarily say that my character was any race I choose, but unless that comes up as an issue in therapy (perceived discrimination, for instance), it's moot. This is an area that hasn't been explored on the site. Do you feel qualified to write such a character, Drew-Bob?
